The Nuggets

[Supergirl]

Are the better off with AI or Chauncey?

My take: They're better off big picture with Chauncey. As in, they're more likely to advance in the playoffs, because they're better defensively. But in the short term, they're not as scary offensively, as they showed us last night.

They're definitely better with Billups. They just had an off night last night.

I think the answer to this question is pretty evident.

Eh, we'll see. Like I've said, come PO, Billups ain't gonna have all his longtime Detroit buddies next to him. All the leadership and ability in the world can influence the other 4 guys so much. Melo isn't a winner at this point, but getting Billups and the flourishing of Nene thus far really gives them a chance to get to Round 2.

Don't think they're contenders.

Billups has already proven to make that Denver look better on both sides of the ball. I think it's pretty evident that Billups makes that team better than Iverson did. The better question is whether that team can go farther in the playoffs with Billups than with Iverson. Even if the Nuggets are better now, can they get out of the first round in the Western Conference playoffs? I have my doubts about that even with believing they are a much better team now with Billups.

With AI, they won IIRC 2 PO games so the only way to go is up. If they get a high seed, i think they'll make it to the 2nd.

I knew the answer to this question before the trade was finalized. In fact, as a Jazz fan, I was and remain furious about this trade.

[lefty]

I think they are better now, but yesterday it was just bad coaching by Karl + JR Smith playing like a retard + SuperSpurs

[Obstructed_View]

The answer is not The Answer.

[Armando]

yes they are better on the flip side so far Detroit is struggling with Iverson

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Nuggets are now 14-4 with Billups
